In addition to the “feature” of Dave breaking down an entire boer goat into specific meals live for his guests (utilizing the entire goat!), owners Mike Azalini and Mike Moore will be presenting appetizers and entrees featuring goat prepared by Dave matched with some of the three hundred-plus Trappist style, craft brewed ales they regularly serve at La Trappe.

La Trappe is located at 800 Greenwich Street, North Beach at the corners of Mason and Columbus Streets in San Francisco.

“An Evening of Butchery and Belgian Bier”

David Budworth, aka “Dave the Butcher”, is proud to present an “An Evening of Butchery and Belgian Bier,” on August 23, 2009, starting at 3pm.

“An Evening of Butchery and Belgian Bier” will feature special appetizers, Belgian biers, and goat entrees created by Dave The Butcher. From 4pm-6pm, Dave will break down a whole locally raised, all-natural grain fed goat. Dave will demonstrate different butchering techniques in preparing the goat into a variety of cuts, that will be raffled off after dinner, each paired with a Belgian bier.

The event is hosted and sponsored by LaTrappe Belgian Bistro, located at 800 Greenwich St. in North Beach, San Francisco, California. La Trappe features 18 rotating taps of Belgian ale, and a library of over 350 bottled Belgian ales. With both casual and formal dining areas, La Trappe hosts numerous events during the year, many associated with Belgian cuisine.

“An Evening of Butchery and Belgian Bier” is also sponsored by
Biagio Artisian Meats and Long Ranch of Manteca who are providing the goats for both the evening’s meal and demonstration.

Tickets are priced at $65 per person and include a range of appetizers, Dave’s presentation, one entrée paired with one Belgian bier, a dessert, and one entry into the raffle.

We will have a set menu of goat dishes, each paired with a belgian bier. Doors will be at 5pm with dinner at 6pm. I will also be breaking down a whole goat so you can ask questions about different cuts or the how and why of butchering. We will be raffling off the cuts of goat that i break down along with belgian biers.

I think we gonna try and keep it at 60 people max so get tix early. Tix will be avaiable at the events page at www.latrappecafe.com. We will hopefully have the page set by this week. If you don’t like pay pal and want a ticket,or have any questions, you can email me at dave@davethebutcher.com. Put butchery and belgian bier in the subject. We can work something out for you.
